Nondisplaced fracture of pisiform, right wrist, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a prior nondisplaced fracture of the pisiform bone in the right wrist. It indicates that the initial fracture has resolved, but there are ongoing effects or complications directly attributable to that past injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with long-term pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or other chronic issues in the right wrist that are directly linked to a previously sustained nondisplaced pisiform fracture. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing the sequelae, not the acute injury itself.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis for the current encounter, if applicable.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the current condition is a direct result of a previous nondisplaced pisiform fracture.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of an acute or subacute fracture; use the appropriate acute fracture code instead.
